Two women were taken by ambulance to a local hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening, and another woman was ticketed after a three-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon left a car in the landscaping near a southwest Amarillo intersection, police said.

About 2:30 p.m., a red Nissan and a silver Honda van was behind it when a white GMC Yukon attempted to pass both vehicles, police said.

Two women were extracted from the Nissan by Amarillo firefighters and taken on stretchers to an ambulance.

The driver of the Yukon was ticketed for failure to control speed, Roper said.
